Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow...

W00t! Snow is cool... especially when it gets you out of classes. I only wish it had gotten me out of my early class today. Instead, I get to miss my later class, which I don't mind attending, but I have to listen to my aesthetics teacher drone on about conceptual and aesthetic properties. She was making no sense, her information was so logically flawed, and when a few of us tried to point this out, she just blew us off as speaking of unrelated matters.

Here's what I mean: She claims that given a description of a piece of art (painting, sculpture, music, etc), you cannot claim to know any aesthetic properties of that art (beautiful, dynamic, fiery, interesting, etc). However, you COULD claim to know what properties it DIDN'T have. We tried to explain that this depends on how detailed the description was, and that someone telling you a painting is "red, with vertical lines" isn't enough to say the painting is OR isn't "fiery". However, if they were so detailed in their description that you could actually picture the exact painting in your mind, then you could ascribe aesthetic properties. The teacher tried to say that no level of detail in your description could be enough. This is lunacy so far as I'm concerned, as well as with much of the class.

Enough of that. Let's see, yesterday was a broken day for me. I didn't have either of my classes because the teacher had jury duty, and then I was only at work for about an hour and a half because we had too many people working and not enough work to do. So much for making up that $600 I spent; I made $6.

I did get to spend the evening otherwise, however, thanks to having no work; De (should it be "D" or "De"?) and I went to the mall, had coffee, watched the hamsters run around, climb on each other, and *cough*mate*cough*. It was a fun evening, except now she's going to teach me how to knit! *runs and hides*

I guess that's about all I have to say. The library here closes in 30 minutes, so I think I'll go home and catch up on some homework. Bis später meine Freunde und meine Freundinnen!

P.S. - Don't forget... Mmmm... Banana!
